A new facility for homeless men has opened in south Lake County with an ambitious plan to do more than just provide a warm bed and food for its clients.

Is there a web site for this organization? How can you "direct" someone to this facility?

Fact, I tried to employ a couple of young homeless men for a weekend to help with my spring cleanup.

They were no way interested in working, they just wanted money for nothing, which leads me to believe that if they wanted to work they would not be homeless.

Good Luck. I have worked with the homeless in a few situations/jobs. There are different types of homeless people just like all other people.
1. People who are drunks, uneducated, and came from a set of parents that through example taught them that. Some want change, some don't! Some who do,, Do till they see how hard it is then become some don't.
2. The big group. The ones that came from good family's. They know the rules and good and bad and are hooked on drugs,, or was hooked on drugs. They will never make it unless they are in a monitored situation for the rest of their life. A military set up . Then you have the ones that know exactly whats going on and need to be someone else. You can't fix that with out lableing these people with non removable tracking. Any thing else is just a way to employ otherwise unemployable people to work at these places. That is the people that will be dealing with the homeless on a day to day schedule. There is a way. It just requires things that would freak the normal person out.
